Banks Of Marble - The Irish Brigade

[Verse]
I've travelled round this country,
From shore to shining shore,
I've never ceased to wonder,
The things I heard and saw

[Chorus]
Yet the banks are made of marble,
With a guard on every door,
And the vaults are filled with silver,
That the worker sweated for.

[Verse]
I see the weary housewife,
Buying groceries at the store,
And I've heard the grocer saying,
"This is going to cost you more."

[Chorus]
Yet the banks are made of marble,
With a guard on every door,
And the vaults are filled with silver,
That the worker sweated for.

[Verse]
I see the weary miner,
Coal dust heavy on his back,
And I hear his children crying,
"We've no coal to heat the shack."

[Chorus]
Yet the banks are made of marble,
With a guard on every door,
And the vaults are filled with silver,
That the worker sweated for.

[Verse]
I see the healthcare worker,
Toiling on through grief and pain,
As he sees his workmates dying,
Sacrificed to greed and gain

[Chorus]
Yet the banks are made of marble,
With a guard on every door,
And the vaults are filled with silver,
That the worker sweated for.

[Verse]
Lets rise up and take our country,
Rise up and take our land,
If we all rise together,
For together we must stand.

We will seize the banks of marble,
With the guard on every door,
And we'll share out all the silver,
That the worker sweated for.

Lets rise up and take our country,
Rise up and take our land,
If we all rise together,
For together we must stand.

[Outro]
If we all rise together,
For together we must stand.
